How Sara Rue is Maintaining Her Slimmer Figure -- And Loving It

What better place to flaunt your spanking new size-six self than to an Emmy party? After dropping a remarkable 50 pounds, actress and Jenny Craig spokesperson Sara Rue did just that, showing off her svelte figure in a chic Rory Beca dress at Entertainment Tonight‘s Emmy party on Sunday. No longer self-conscious about her appearance, Rue said that she now has time to focus on the important things in life. “I’m able to fret about other things outside of what I’m going to wear, and how I’m going to look,” the actress told PEOPLE. “I can worry, instead, about whether or not we’re going to be there on time, or what time I have to be up tomorrow morning,” explained Rue, who declared her current weight as a healthy one. And to keep herself in that healthy range, Rue said she is still watching the calories and sticking to Jenny Craig’s maintenance plan. “I’m still calling my consultant, and still eating the food, but I’m just not as regimented as I was.” Just don’t expect her slimdown to go any further. “I don’t feel the need to be any thinner than I already am,” she said. “I like being curvy, I like having boobs, and I know that I’m a representation of someone that has not taken it too far to one extreme or the other.” –Jessie Goldberg; reporting by Reagan Alexander
